PS+ used to better then GWC on the 360 but its been forever since they actually gave away two good games on the PS3 side.  So right now if you just compare PS+ and GWC on the PS3 versus the 360 the 360 side wins easily.  Overall the 360 is just more user friendly and the UI is a lot easier.  Plus 3rd party games which make up the bulk of both consoles games run for the most part better on the 360.  Plus with retail games you can install the entire game on the 360's HDD which gives many of them a slight performance boost.

When you actually look at both systems side by side for the past 2 months the games are pretty much in line in terms of quality, PS3 titles leading by a few % overall from their metacritic scores but I wouldn't let the blind statments of "psn+ games now are bad!" stop you from actually looking at the titles which are on the service.

Sure there is the odd stinker on one of the 3 platforms which gets games from the subscription but there is also the bonus games if you just happen to own a ps3 where titles come to the ps4 or Vita which also have a ps3 version, often those psn+ licences grant both copies of the game so it can happen where in some months you get 4 titles for the Ps3 rather than the normal 2.

But! Becoming ranty, just wanted to give you the scores and age of the games on both service, in my eyes there isn't an obvious winner (although Deux Ex is amazing imo) But I mean critically based on reviewers.
